USTSA will be hosting tournaments across Georgia this year and we have a question. Should we have 8U Kid Pitch, 8U Coach pitch or offer both at our tournaments. Please give us your thoughts, comments, and concerns. Please remember we want USTSA to be a step above other organizations and it starts with your thoughts.
Yes - I think you will have alot of potential in the 8U KP division. It won't hurt to offer both though - some teams want to play CP at the 8U level to give them one more year before they embark into the real baseball world...
Most teams I know in 8U that are doing coach pitch are only doing it early in the year to allow more time for the players to work on defense, etc. Based on that you might want to offer both CP and KP until March/April. After April I think you will get the most participation from KP as most teams move that direction.
